Heat
S3P1. Students will investigate how heat is produced and the effects of heating and cooling, and will understand a change in temperature indicates a change in heat.
a. Categorize ways to produce heat energy such as burning, rubbing (friction), and mixing one thing with another.
b. Investigate how insulation affects heating and cooling.
c. Investigate the transfer of heat energy from the sun to various materials.
d. Use thermometers to measure the changes in temperatures of water samples (hot, warm, cold) over time.

Magnets
S3P2. Students will investigate magnets and how they affect other magnets and common objects.
a. Investigate to find common objects that are attracted to magnets.
b. Investigate how magnets attract and repel each other.
Watch the Bill Nye video over "Magnetism."

Below is the vocabulary for pollution and conservation.
5 Georgia Habitats
Life Science (S3L1): Students will investigate the habitats of different organisms and the dependence of organisms on their habitat.
Below are some PowerPoints that explain and describe the 5 regions/habitats of Georgia.
Below is the vocabulary we will be using for this unit.
Below is the GA Habitats Rap we listened to in class.
